The Presbytery of Southern New England honored him for fifty years of Gospel ministry, at their meeting at Yale University Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut in 2012. The United States Marine Corp selected him as “Outstanding Spokesman of the Faith” at Camp Quantico, Virginia in 1981. He was a Visiting Fellow at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey and a Visiting Scholar at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
He holds a B.A. and a D.D. from Westminster College in Pennsylvania and an M.Div. and a D.Min. from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He attended the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, for a year of post-graduate studies. He has returned to Scotland, Europe and Israel a number of times on study trips. He is currently working toward an M.S. in Psychology at Husson University.
Dr. Veon and his wife, Susan Jean Michel-Veon, moved to Maine seventeen years ago, when he retired from parish assignments. They have named their home nestled in the woods and on a lake, “Kairos Cove.” In “retirement,” his passions remain teaching, preaching and writing.
After moving to Maine, he was hired as the Athletic Director for Greenville High School. He has taught Ethics, Critical Thinking, Human Behavior in Contemporary Film, and World Religions at Beal College in Bangor and Kennebec Valley Community College in Fairfield.
He supplied the pulpit at the Jackman Congregational church for a year or so. For the last ten years, he has conducted worship and preached at the Union Church UCC in Greenville and the Rockwood Chapel.
Dr. Veon authored a collection of “prayer-poems,” Living on the Growing Edge, in 1986. It is slated for rerelease. He is currently working on a second volume of poetry, which will be published in 2014.
One of his favorite literary quotes quotes is this one, from Thoreau:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately. I wished to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”voir moins
